Whitewater [Enhanced]

Amazon.com
The California Guitar Trio is all about precision. Their compositions are hard, etched diamonds, played with the kind of detail a jeweler could admire. One of their favorite tricks, derived from their time with Robert Fripp's League of Crafty Guitarists, is to pass the melody of a piece, one note at a time, among the three musicians. Put on the headphones to really appreciate this effect on "Prelude Circulation BWV 988." The circulation concept is more than a parlor trick, and they don't do it often, but it speaks to the single-minded, yet orchestral approach of CGT. It reveals itself in the haunting melody of "The Marsh," and on the high energy goof of "Red Iguana." With Whitewater, CGT expands their palette a bit, processing their acoustic guitars for electric lead lines ranging from the siren sustained melody on "Atlantis" to a Hendrixian freakout on "Led Foot." They leave the sometimes shtick-like covers of Beethoven and Queen off this disc, although they end the CD with a fun interpolation of Eddy Arnold's "Ghost Riders in the Sky" and the Doors' "Riders on the Storm." But most of Whitewater consists of original compositions where CGT reveals the possibilities of their sound in what might be the best album in their 13-year existence. --John Diliberto

Product Description
With their technical wizardry and breathtaking fusion of classical music, blues, jazz and country - immersed within the quintessential genre of California surf rock - California Guitar Trio have earned themselves an enthusiastic community of fans and the respect of many renowned colleagues. Their stunning virtuosity and sly sense of humour have earned them a rabid following with a significant crossover into the progressive, acoustic and classical music scenes.

The trio of revered guitarists met for the first time in a class taught by Robert Fripp (King Crimson) in 1987. In 1991 they embarked on a worldwide tour with Fripp’s League of Crafty Guitars. It was out of this life-changing experience that CGT was formed. They now boast an impressive collection of seven albums; the last two, The First Decade and CG3+2, were released on Inside Out Music. This newest release, Whitewater, features twelve new tracks produced by Tony Levin (Peter Gabriel, King Crimson).

ride the rapids.......2007-03-20

CGT takes their acoustic guitars and plugs them in to some cool effects for a three pronged sonic attack. They escape imprisonment from any genre while paying homage to their rock and classical roots. The level of interaction, the understanding of how three separate parts can sum a much greater whole, is simply jaw-dropping. These guys know how to be geniuses without being stuffy, and it is really refreshing to hear such virtuosity mixed with such down-to-earth fun.

California Gold Rush.......2007-02-25

It must be an alien six armed guitar player!! Amazing musicality. Skip all the reviews and go listen to this group. Moneyback Guarantee: Any part of your money they haven't already spent,they will return to you! Seriously, listen very carefully. This is not New Age crapola,don't put this on while you are making dinner or puttering around the house or writing a blog....sit down in your best 5.1 surround system and lean back.

CGT - Whitewater.......2007-01-19

I bought this album solely because I heard the 'Riders' arrangement on satellite radio. As an aspiring guitarist I am always on the lookout for new guitar music. I am very pleased with the entire set of selections on the CD. It is more varied than I thought it would be - with a mix of acoustic and electric pieces. I would love to see the group live. The CD is worth the price for me because the 'Riders' piece is so cool.

Good but not excelent - Bueno, pero no excelente.......2006-12-12

He escuchado a CGT desde sus comienzos de la mano de Robert Fripp. Este es un buen trabajo, sin embargo no hay la potencia de sus primeros trabajos. Si eres un seguidor del grupo puedes adquirir el disco, si lo estas escuchando por primera vez, busca una de sus trabajos anteriores para que sepas de que es capaz esta agrupación

Impressive.......2006-04-11

After seeing this CD in the store under the "Progressive Rock" section, I was wondering how it would sound (because of the "Guitar Trio" name). I was immediately impressed by the skill, and now that I've found out that they studied under Fripp, no wonder....

Great ambient music, I would compare it to a guitar-only version of Ozric Tentacles (it's music where you just pop in the CD and all you have is excellent instrumental tracks).

A treat for the wind band enthusiast.......2002-07-15

Refreshing and contemporary. These are some of Shaffer's older and more difficult pieces for band. His style can best be described as assertive, refreshing and rhythmic. He has a keen skill for counterpoint and beautiful melodies. While the harmonic language remains largely tonal, tone colour exploration, dissonance, and surprising harmonic progressions are far from uncommon. The Washington Winds provide a superb recording of some of the best music for younger ensembles. Among my favourite are : Flight of the Pegasus, Arabesque, Windward Passage, Fanfare and Festival Celebration, Pageant of Light, and Regatta for Winds.
